[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3705842, member: 13966"] Nah, fighter's not going anywhere. It's getting more of a weapon-style emphasis, from what I've seen mentioned on RPGnet in excerpts from the in-house playtesters (Cordell or Noonan I think mentioned it). Wizard neither, apparently. And psion may or may not be made core, though changed. I think the sorcerer will get folded into Wizard, and perhaps also the Bard but that's only slightly likely. The Ranger and Barbarian will probably be blended together as one wilderness-warrior class, I'd guess. Monk may be folded into fighter or something else. Druid is most likely going to be folded into Cleric, but might be kept separate. Paladin may likely be folded into Fighter or something. From what I understand, there will be feats or talents or something that work similar in mechanics to the Bo9S maneuvers and stances, but not necessarily in style/theme. I don't like what little I've seen of the 4E tidbits, as little of it seems to be actual improvement rather than just simplifcation, encounter-based-focus, and mashing together mechanics from D20 Modern/Star Wars Saga Edition. :\ :( [/QUOTE]
